More rocket launchers show up in gun buy-back (this time in Florida). 
It's just so hard to find the ammo these days.

Squirrels must get awfully, terribly big if it takes an M72 LAW (Light Anti-tank Weapon), pictured below, to take them  down.

Rocket launchers exchanged in Tampa Bay gun swaps

More than 2,000 weapons exchanged for cash and prizes



TAMPA, Fla. - Deputies say two rocket launchers were among roughly 2,500 weapons exchanged for cash and tickets in the Tampa Bay area.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office says the response to its "Operation Gun Swap" on Saturday was overwhelming. People waited in long lines at five locations in the county to anonymously trade guns for $75 cash and ticket vouchers for the Tampa Bay Rays baseball team and the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey team.

Authorities say so many people showed up that they ran out of cash and tickets. Deputies had to distribute vouchers for the same cash and ticket packages.

The sheriff's office says the two rocket launchers were exchanged at separate swap locations. Bomb technicians inspected them to make sure they weren't loaded.
